Matplot, how terminate a python script with a second script
up vote

I have a python script that runs matplotlib to plot a figure on the screen (with plt.show). I need to launch this script every hour in order to update the pie with last values collected. As matplot is blocking with the previous pie drawn on the screen, I can not draw a new pie with new values.
I need to close automatically the previous plot but only as soon as the script is run again (via cronotab). I tried with a different script to be launched before the re-launch of the plotting script and with plt.close(‘all’) but it doesn’t work.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Would it be an option to use aFuncAnimationand never close the window?

I checked FuncAnimation but as per what I understood it takes some resources and I must keep the script always running, that’s not what I want to.

I don't quite see the difference between stopping the script and restarting it in the very moment or just keeping it running throughout. The latter might even be less resource hungry.

You’re right, I’ll try animation or even creating a loop with several minutes of interval for my purpose to get update each 60’.

I found a solution valid for me. I put the plotting in a while cicle and I put, at the end:
plt.show(block=False)
time.sleep(3600)
plt.close('all')
now it work as expected. The pie is updating every hour, redrawing itself with new values. I know that block=False is deprecated but I tried other solution without success (like plt.ion()).
